Miitopia on 3DS honest to god is one of my favorite games I've ever played, with genuine plot twists and every aspect of it just breathes charm out the wazoo. Genuinely I don't think I've ever been so impressed with a video game before. I give the 3DS version a 10/10.
But...honestly the switch version feels inferior to me! The customization options for your Mii's are astoundingly amazing and it's always a hoot to see what people come up with, but there's no way to see them without the internet! The 3DS version let you randomly see ANY Mii's that have been uploaded online and it led to a lot of funny moments since they automatically randomly assign you them to townsfolk when you first arrive there. It was one of the best aspects of the game seeing who got assigned where, and you could always reroll specific roles if you wanted another option, but the Switch version...you need to manually do everything yourself, and like i said, you NEVER get to see what people are making inside of the game itself without going to the internet. This is the biggest reason this version is a downgrade to me, but also just..the game felt a lot more fluent on 3DS. I always had the menu open in battle, taking up a fourth of the screen, just in case i needed to use Sprinkles to recover my Mii's, but in the Switch version it takes up a fourth of the screen.
The new content is cute, but It's really...just kind of inconsequential.
